Pathological Q Waves in a Young Patient Without Ischemic Heart Disease.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWe present an asymptomatic patient with pathological septal Q waves. CASE SUMMARY: An 18-year-old asymptomatic man was referred for further evaluation after pathological Q waves were identified on an electrocardiogram performed at his own initiative. Electrocardiography demonstrated sinus rhythm with pathological septal Q waves. Physical examination and laboratory tests were unremarkable. DISCUSSION: Multimodality cardiac imaging, particularly cardiac magnetic resonance, plays a central role in tissue characterization, differential diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic decision-making in patients with atypical electrocardiographic findings. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Pathological Q waves in young patients often reflect nonischemic heart disease, making advanced cardiac imaging essential to distinguish these findings from myocardial infarction.
